#109 of 1691 Re: Prius Dealers in Portland [aviva2] by gagrice Jul 19, 2006 (6:25 am)
Replying to: aviva2 (Jul 19, 2006 1:32 am) Maybe its worth my while to visit Portland   Having bought several cars and trucks in Portland over the years I agree it is worth the flight up to buy. Plus it is a beautiful city to visit. The drive back if you take the coastal highways is a wonderful vacation. When you are pricing here on Edmund's put in zip code 97027 and you will get a list of Portland dealers to contact. Oregon does not charge any out of state buyers tax. They just give you the MCO and you take care of the paper work at home.
#111 of 1691 Prius Dealerships in Dallas/Fort Worth by kien Jul 19, 2006 (7:25 pm)
I am considering replacing my 2002 Honda Accord for a Prius. I contacted a few dealerships, most are willing to sell at MSRP. One is welling to sell through pre order for $300 less than MSRP.   Is it a good idea to pre-order? I have heard of stories that some dealerships would sell your car if they get better offer, so you have to keep waiting.   Thanks for any advice.

Replying to: aviva2 (Jul 19, 2006 1:32 am) We got ours at Russ Toyota, Beaverton. However, you should check with all the dealers in the area. Go to Toyota's website, do the dealer search with zip code 97228. If you are flexible, you should be able to score a car more or less immediately...

Replying to: latothedesert (Mar 07, 2006 3:56 pm) we originally purchased the warranty because we had no clue -- we have since canceled it - everyone here said it was a scam and you could buy it from any dealer for around $1000 (we have not checked into it) - they charge $25 to cancel and you have 30 days from purchase .......
#114 of 1691 Don't know if I'm happy yet by gina2748 Jul 20, 2006 (3:06 pm)
Just pick up my Prius 06 # 7. Had to pay MSRP price($28,364). I traded in a Honda Pilot 05 (excellent condition) with DVD and running boards. The dealer would only give me $22500.00 for my trade. Kelly blue book stated that in excellent condition it was worth at least $24,000, good condition $22,700. I love the color and I think that I am going to be happy about the reduction in gas.   I just want to think that I did not over pay for this car. What do you think?

Replying to: jrct9454 (Jul 20, 2006 11:31 am) I actually bought my Prius via Costco services. The Costco discount I received was -200 off MSRP for any model. The Costco dealership was Vancouver Toyota (basically 15 min north of Portland,OR). The only place that offered below MSRP pricing

Replying to: gina2748 (Jul 20, 2006 3:06 pm) Hey, you did just fine. MSRP is pretty much the rule throughout the country although some folks have been successful at buying below MSRP. Re the trade, the trade in value is always less than the Kelly blue book indicates. So you weren't low balled. Also the good news is that you are within the window for a $3150 tax credit. The #7 except for leather seats is fully loaded. You're in for a very enjoyable experience driving this car.

Replying to: gina2748 (Jul 20, 2006 3:06 pm) Virtually no dealer will give you the KBB figure for a trade in "excellent" condition as defined by KBB. My cars are always pristine, and I've gotten used to being quoted the "good" number from Kelley, or something close. Your experience is just typical, not unusual.

Replying to: cruising7388 (Jul 07, 2006 10:34 pm) Hey there! Thanks for the info. You're right - I need to get on it. Do you mind sharing the name of your dealer?   Best, G Replies to this message: cruising7388 (Jul 27, 2006 9:26 pm)
